Chapter 219 [(*^▽^*)]
Just as Lin Leyou was about to fall asleep, Xue Rui's message came again. He was probably a little free now, so he started sending Lin Leyou messages non-stop.
Lin Leyou couldn't sleep because of the noise, so she just stopped trying to sleep.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, do you still remember Xue Qian, whom you killed?"
Lin Leyou knew, of course. "What? Did he go back to cause you trouble?"
Xue Rui, "How did you know?"
Lin Leyou: "I killed him, and he dropped an item, which I took. Did he think you took it?"
Xue Rui lay on the hospital bed, staring wide-eyed at the message. Xue Qian had actually come to question him about whether he had taken the props that he had accidentally dropped there!
Xue Rui was completely baffled at the time, and simply told him to get lost before leaving.
He thought Xue Qian was deliberately trying to cause him trouble, but he didn't expect that it was actually true. But since Lin Leyou took it, it's fine.
Xue Rui: "They did say something like that, but I didn't take it to heart."
Lin Leyou said, "It's a good thing. I'll show it to you when I have the chance."
Xue Rui said, "He looked really angry, furious, like he was about to rush up and hit me."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "It's a golden prop, very powerful."
For some reason, Xue Rui suddenly thought of the burn mark that had appeared on Lin Leyou's palm, which had taken so long to heal. Could it be...?
Xue Rui: "Could it be related to the injury on Brother Lin's palm?"
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. As expected of the clever Boss Xue, "Yes, you guessed right."
Xue Rui's mood immediately soured. He would be happy if taking Xue Qian's things made him uncomfortable, but he didn't want to see Lin Leyou get hurt.
If only I could take that thing without getting hurt!
He didn't ask what it was, but simply asked, "Is it good?"
Lin Leyou said, "It's a good thing, but it's a pity I can't show it to you right now."
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment. "I'll show you when I have the chance. I can't take it out now. So does this mean that Lin Leyou can't use his props right now?"
Xue Rui: "It's okay, we'll talk about it when we have the chance. There's no rush."
Lin Leyou: "Yeah, it's nothing."
Xue Rui: "Then, Brother Lin, should you get some rest?"
Lin Leyou really wanted to rest. "Okay, you take care too."
Compared to Lin Leyou, Xue Rui's current identity is far more dangerous, and he must be even more careful about his safety.
After putting away his phone, Lin Leyou could finally get some rest. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep, but he remained vigilant at all times, ready to wake up immediately if anything happened.
However, in this Peace Hospital where the director was absent, he, as the vice director, held the highest position, so in theory no one should bother him.
So he can sleep well.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Rui put the phone back in his backpack, then got up to use the restroom. When he came back, he glanced outside twice to make sure no one was there before walking to the bedside.
He was the only patient in the ward, and it was already evening. In a few more hours, the first day would be over, and the second day would begin soon.
Although he has gathered some intelligence, it is still unlikely that he can bring down the hospital. He hasn't found any of the other players yet, not to mention the reporter who infiltrated the area and hid very well.
I don't know who this reporter is.
Just as he was about to slip something under the covers to pretend he was sleeping, he heard light footsteps outside the door. He immediately lay back down, covered himself with the covers, and acted as if he had been sleeping all along.
The footsteps outside the door stopped, as if they were observing the situation inside. Xue Rui thought the people outside would leave on their own soon, but unexpectedly, he heard the door open!
This person opened the door and came in!
Xue Rui immediately realized that this person was definitely suspicious. Although he was lying with his back to the ward door, Xue Rui could tell from the footsteps.
If it were a nurse or a doctor, they certainly wouldn't be so cautious when they come in; they would come in openly and honestly without tiptoeing at all!
And now this sneaky person is clearly planning to sneak in and do something to me!
Could it be that they wanted to assassinate him?
The moment this thought popped into Xue Rui's mind, he heard the footsteps quicken as they approached his hospital bed, as if...
He didn't have time to think; he turned around and fell off the bed onto the floor with a thud! And let me tell you, it really hurt!
Of course, his efforts paid off, because when he turned around, he saw a man covered in blood with bloodshot eyes holding a sharp knife and stabbing the spot where he had just been sleeping.
The stab didn't hit the person, and he was clearly stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Xue Rui ran around the bed as fast as he could and ran towards the ward door. Fortunately, he only left the door slightly ajar when he came in, and didn't close it.
He flung open the door and ran out. As soon as he got outside, he saw a nurse and a doctor talking together at the end of the corridor.
Xue Ruigang wanted to hide, but he quickly realized that he was still of use to the hospital. In less than seven days, they would not only not harm him, but would also protect him.
He will only be locked up and put to surgery seven days later after he discovers some specific information related to the hospital.
Xue Rui only thought for a moment before heading towards them.
The doctors and nurses had noticed him earlier, initially thinking he was a patient trying to escape, but unexpectedly he came rushing towards them, shouting, "Doctor! Doctor!"
The doctor and nurse exchanged a glance, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Xue Rui pointed in a panic to the ward he was in behind him, "Someone tried to kill me just now!"
The doctor paused for a moment, "You're saying someone wants to kill you?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, yes, someone just entered my ward. I thought it was just someone coming to check on me and didn't pay much attention, but he quietly approached the bed. When I opened my eyes, I saw him trying to stab me with a knife!"
The two were slightly moved and hurried to the door of the ward. The three of them looked inside together, but there was no one inside now, only the outer window was open.
Xue Rui's ward was on the first floor, so he wouldn't fall to his death if he went out after opening the window. The doctors and nurses looked very grim when they saw the obvious stab wounds on the bed.
Others may not know, but how could they not know? This patient was sent by Mr. Ye, and in terms of individual value, he is the most valuable patient among all those sent by Mr. Ye to the entire hospital.
He went through a lot of trouble to get his hands on it. If the deal went well, he would get a considerable reward, but if something went wrong, he would be out of a job!
The doctor laughed in exasperation, "Fine, very well indeed! They must be resentful and want to cause me trouble, to make me fail!"
The nurse frowned slightly. "Doctor, what should we do now?"
The windows on the first floor were fitted with security bars that looked like iron cages, which were supposed to prevent patients from escaping. However, the security bars that were originally in good condition have now been broken open.
Doctor, "Fix the security bars first."
Nurse: "Why not just move to a different ward?"
Xue Rui said, "I think this ward is quite nice. I'm the only one living here, and it's very comfortable."
Nurse, "But this bed..."
Xue Rui pointed to the other two hospital beds, "There are two more beds here, I can sleep in them alternately."
Nurse,"……"
She looked at the doctor. "Doctor?"
The doctor took a deep breath. "Didn't I tell you? Fix the security windows first. Why change the ward? This ward was arranged by the vice president. If you want to change it, go talk to the vice president!"
The nurse quickly lowered her head. She was going to find the vice president? No way! What if the vice president got angry and beat her up?
The doctor snorted coldly, "Investigate thoroughly who came to this ward, then find them and clean it up!"
The nurse said, "Okay, doctor, I'll go right away."
Xue Rui remained in the ward. He had previously thought that the person who wanted to kill him would chase after him, but to his surprise, not only did the person not chase after him, but the person seemed to know that there were people outside and simply ran away.
Soon he saw two people outside the window repairing the damaged security window. It was fixed in no time, and it looked like a cage again.
Just when Xue Rui thought everything was alright, the nurse who had left earlier came back. She came in and replaced the bed sheets that had been damaged by the knife with new ones.
"Mr. Zheng, the bed here has been changed. You can go back to this hospital bed if you want."
Xue Rui said, "Thank you, nurse. I'm a little sleepy and want to go to sleep first. It won't take up much time to move tomorrow."
The nurse nodded. "Okay, you can rest now. I'll be going now."
It seems that neither the nurse nor the doctor doubted Xue Rui anymore, since Xue Rui didn't run around aimlessly when his life was threatened, but subconsciously sought their help.
Before leaving, the nurse glanced at Xue Rui, who had already closed her eyes and was about to sleep, and left quickly. She didn't linger outside the door after closing it, and her footsteps gradually faded away.
Just in case, Xue Rui didn't go out immediately. Instead, he planned to lie down for a while and wait until it was completely quiet outside before going out to take a look.
First, we need to find enough evidence; otherwise, even if we find a reporter, it will be of no use, and we still don't know what kind of person that reporter is.
As Xue Rui waited, he gradually fell asleep. Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes were watching the ward door the whole time.
They neither approached nor left, they just kept watching from the outside.
